New Tech Could
Read Books Without
Opening Them
At MIT, Scientist named
Mr. Heshmat- an Indian
scientist have developed
a technology with which
a closed book can be
read. It will help the
archaeologists
for
looking in the books
without opening them.
Using technology akin to
X-ray vision, scientists
can read closed books,
identifying letters printed
on stacks of paper up to
nine sheets thick.

This could lead to
office machines that
scan the reams of
paper at once, or help
the
researchers to
scan ancient books
that are too fragile to
open. The system
uses the
terahertz
radiation, it is the band
of
electromagnetic
radiation between the
microwaves and the
infrared light, which
has advantages over
other types of waves
that can penetrate
surfaces, such as Xrays or sound waves.

Virtualization in Cloud Computing
Cloud
Virtualization software makes it possible to run
multiple operating systems and several applications
on the same server at the same very time, which
reduces the cost and increases the efficiency. The
most important component in virtualization is VMM
(Virtual Machine Monitor) also known as hypervisor. It
separates computer environment from the physical
infrastructure.
Virtualization differs from cloud computing, as
Virtualization is a software that manipulates hardware
while cloud computing refers to a service that results
from the manipulation but since these are also
connected: - “Virtualization is a foundational
element of cloud computing and helps deliver on
the value of cloud computing”-Adams.
The true cloud provides self service capability,
elasticity, automated management, scalability
and pay as you demand service that is most
inherent in Virtualization.
There exist two type of hypervisors.
Type 1 Hypervisor (native or bare-metal
hypervisor)
These hypervisors don’t need interface OS for
virtualization as they run directly on the host’s
hardware system. Virtualization achieved
through these hypervisors is called full or total
virtualization. To communicate with hardware,
type 1 hypervisors are pre-loaded with device
drivers for communicating with system
hardware.
Type 2 Hypervisor (Hosted hypervisor)
Instead of directly running on host’s hardware,
these type of hypervisors run on top of the host
Operating System. Thus, they rely on host
operating system for access of physical
hardware resources. Host OS provides drivers
to the type 2 hypervisors for communicating with
system hardware. Thus, it is also known as
hosted hypervisors.
Virtualization can achieve above said types and
cloud computing that helps in achieving the total
virtualisation of type 1. In cloud computing, the
required infrastructure is gathered at a distant
location, all together. One can remotely access
the virtual infrastructure from a remote location.
Each user acts like a virtual machine for that
infrastructure i.e. cloud is a service which
provides an infrastructure that is required which
is not physically present and yet is being utilized
by the user, wholly and solely and total
virtualization is achieved. This provides us with
benefits like maximization of resources and
multiple system working, IT budget integration,
last but not the least, helps in achieving green
computing by reducing the CO2 emission.

“A Tiny
Computer That
Powered
Wirelessly from
Radio Waves!!”
Researchers
at
the
University
of Washington
(UW) have developed a new
type of computer system
that derives its power not
from a battery or any other
external power sources but
from radio waves that are
around the device and it
collects that energy and
converts it into the electricity
by which the device is able
to run. The device name is
"WISP” which is known as
(Wireless Identification and
Sensing Platform). This new
device is the result of a
combination of computing
and sensor technologies
that make use of Radio
Frequency
Identification
“RFID” reader to gather the
radio waves around it in
order to turn them into
electric power.

“Microsoft Will Use DNA
to Store Large Data.”
Do you know — 1 Gram of
DNA
Can
Store
1,000,000,000 Terabyte of
Data for 1000+ Years.
DNA is a good storage
medium because data can
be written into molecules
more densely the basic
elements of conventional
storages technologies can
pack it. This technology
uses artificial DNA made
using
commercially
available
oligonucleotide
synthesis machines for
storage
and
DNA
sequencing machines for
retrieval. This type of
storage system is more
compact
than
current
magnetic tape or hard drive
storage systems. It also has
the capability for longevity,
as long as the DNA is held
in cold, dry and dark
conditions, as is shown
by the study of woolly
mammoth DNA from up
to 60,000 years ago.
DNA is a universal and
fundamental
data
storage mechanism in
biology for resistance to
obsolescence. 1 gram of
DNA able to represent
close
to
1
billion
terabytes (1 zettabyte)
of data. DNA is also
remarkably robust; DNA
fragments thousands of
years old have been
successfully sequenced.
The big difficulty with
DNA storage is reading
and writing. Storing data
in
DNA
requires
translating the 1s and 0s
of binary digital files into
long Strings of four
different nucleotides, or
bases, that make up DNA
strands and write out the
genetic code. It is predicted
that worldwide total of
stored digital data will hit 16
trillion gigabytes next year,
most of it housed in huge
data centers. This technique
is expensive, but the
companies
hope
to
piggyback on the plunging
costs of tools for creating
and reading out of DNA
driven by biotech industry.
DNA is seen as a potential
replacement for magnetic
tape, which is the standard
mechanism for long-term
data stores today. The costs
of this have dropped
substantially over the last
20 years. The human
genome project, which ran
from 1990 to 2003, cost
about $3 billion.
